Doug, that is great news from the Dr. Now you will have time to read the entire (soon to be) 300+ pages of this topic. Then in your "spare" time (I always love that one, who ever really has spare time?) you can put together a spreadsheet or something like that to help us search inside of this topic....something like: FW machines on pages X, XY, XYZ, etc. W&W machines on pages A, AB, ABC, etc.....Just a thought...it would keep you busy since the Dr. won't allow sewing yet.....

Keep on taking care of yourself,
Darcene

Me neither. I volunteer in a thirft shop and sometimes people want more than their share.

You know what? I help people when ever I can and when I lay my head on the pillow each night sleep without a guilty conscience.

No room for hatred or greed.

I just found this great site: http://www.sew2go.com/

Since many of us are shipping our precious machines I thought that I would share this site that not only has a lot of information about vintage machines but also several very excellent tutorials on how to pack a machine for shipping. On the home page scroll down to the packing box and click on it. He has a wealth of information to share.

Thank you Darcene an excellent find indeed!!!

Maybe we can send the links to the eBay sellers that we buy machines from!!

Doug, so glad to hear the good news. Just behave yourself and don't over do it. :wink:

Thanks, Darcene. Good link!

thanks, Darcene. That's a good link.

ok, is this machine worth it? Never heard of it.

I have an opportunity to buy a Pfaff 130 treadle in a cabinet in very good condition. The guy wants me to make a reasonable offer. I am thinking $100 but I don't want to insult the guy and not be able to get the machine ....and it sure is purty! What do you think?
